Andrew Thorp

Andrew Thorp is a professional business speaker and trainer, based in Manchester UK. He specialises in the use of storytelling to help companies to stand out from their rivals, leaders to persuade and influence others and organisations to engage and motivate their employees. Part of his self-imposed quest is to rid the world of shallow, soulless corporate-speak and replace it with a more authentic 'inside-out' style of communication.

Andrew previously worked in the golf industry for 22 years as an interim manager, marketeer, journalist and coach. He refereed in the Ryder Cup Matches, ran golf tournaments worldwide and still speaks about what businesses can learn about performance from professional athletes. Andrew has spoken twice at the prestigious TEDx conference and was recently interviewed on Radio 4 about the power that individuals have to effect positive change.
